Re: o~o~o~Precious Pumpkins Check In~o~o~o
Reserved a semi-known proven donor in August .
Waiting for consult/screening and protocols with estimated fresh cycle timing in October
I'm moving onto the December group and hoping IVF#2 will go much better than this past cycle. BFN, no frosties, and embryos that stopped growing by day 5 have all been hard to deal with emotionally. We are adding estrogen priming and HGH to the next cycle with the hopes that it will boost egg quality. Now I'm just waiting for O to be confirmed so we can get started.
QOTD: we spent a week in Sardegna in 2012. It was absolutely heavenly!
That's what I've been noticing on this board - it feels lilke everyone who gets a BFP gets it early. I have read about the women who still don't get their BFP until after their positive beta, but it just feels like if it was going to happen, it would have already. Hang in there!

Hi pumpkins!
Congrats to all who have received BFPs, good luck to those of you in the 2WW, and my heart goes out to all of you who have received disappointing news. Hope you all are doing okay.
Tomorrow I will be 8 weeks and on Friday I have my last u/s with our RE before moving on to an OB. We haven't spilled the beans to anyone yet, waiting until after this second u/s. I feel blessed to be at this point. Thanks to all of you for your support!
QOTW: Not necessarily a warm place, but I really enjoyed our vacation to Victoria and Vancouver in BC. Both were beautiful cities and I would like to go back someday. Buchart Gardens in Victoria was like a dream.
@Jzyla ~ Hope the HPT is wrong and that you get great news at your beta. It's almost here!
@tigger99 ~ I hope your WTF appointment goes well and that your RE has a good plan for you moving forward.
@RunCC37 ~ Hoping that December is your month!
@missusw218 ~ Glad to hear you've been able to relax during your 2WW.
@Alexandra1513 ~ Hope your u/s on Wednesday goes great.
@princessisadora ~ So sorry you had a tough day. I hope your beta shows otherwise tomorrow and comes back great.
@christia10 ~ I hope the HPT is wrong and that you get a great beta.
I'm pulling for all of you that are still in the 2ww!!
I am slowly trucking along. I have my next ultrasound this week. I am terrified; just always scared that something will go wrong. IF has stolen the joy from me. I am a ball of nerves. I think once this ultrasound is behind me I will start to relax a little bit.
QOTW: another vote for New Zealand!!
Me: 32 H: 31
IVF #1 October 2013 Antagonistic Protocol with ICSI ER 10/31/13 (18R 16M 11F- 6 blasts to freeze)
ET delayed due to OHSS
FET scheduled for July 8. Delayed due to a crazy high TSH (it had been under control for YEARS!)
FET #1 8/5/14 sET BFN
@katib77, thanks again for doing the check in!
First and second betas looked great, but I'm holding out for our first ultrasound on the 27th. I also just scheduled my first OB appointment for December 4th. I felt a little anxious about calling this early, but I'm glad I did because some of the OBs in that practice were booking out to January already.
QOTW: As far as warm locations go, I love Hawaii! We went there on our honeymoon.

No updates from me, just our WTF appointment on 11/19. Sounds like a few of us have our appts that day---good luck everyone!
QOTW: We took a dream vacation in 2011 through Switz., London, Paris, and Rome. We were so lucky to be able to do it and love looking back at pictures.
Hi Ladies,
I still don't know anymore than I did last week, but I am a little more at peace with the situation. For the past two nights, I have woken up at midnight and 3:30am - seems to be my time for MS. I also have had no bleeding and my other symptoms, fatigue and sore bbs are the same. I'm really hoping it was just a fluke. However, we have a plan to move forward if it isn't.
QOTW - I am in the travel industry so have been many places throughout my life. I think my favorites are Costa Rica, Aruba, and Moorea.
Hi ladies - my thoughts and prayers are with all the Pumpkins who need them.
I had a panic attack over the weekend, since I went two whole days with zero pregnancy symptoms (I'm 7wk6d today). I called the RE on-call Saturday morning and she had me come in for an u/s just to make sure everything was ok -- we got to see and hear our babies' heartbeats! It was an exciting day, and I am so thankful that my freak out was for nothing. I have my last u/s and appointment with my RE this Friday, and then I'll be released to my OB. It'll be a weird transition - I love everyone at my RE's office! I'll plan to stick around this board for another month, just in case.
